* Timing: accumulating sleet and freezing rain will be possible from daybreak Wednesday to noon. Freezing rain will transition to sleet and snow in the afternoon. The heaviest precipitation is expected to occur between 3 PM and 9 PM.

* Snow and sleet accumulations: sleet accumulations are expected to be highest south and east of the Interstate-44 corridor where some areas could see one-half to one inch. Snow accumulations are expected to average two inches or less over a larger area... although some areas near Interstate-44 could see up to four inches in addition to the sleet.

* Main impact: slick and hazardous roadways are expected to develop from accumulating sleet and snow.

* Other impact: with stronger winds expected south of Interstate-40... decreased visibilities in blowing snow will compound the travel dangers late Wednesday afternoon through Wednesday evening.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

Be careful if you have to travel. Even small amounts of ice andsnow can make roads and sidewalks slick and dangerous.
